Maximize Space

Look at the best way to use the space with your roommate. Dorm Rooms are a tight squeeze as it is, so you will definitely want to be sure to maximize your living space.

Once you and your roommate have hashed out the floor plan it’s time to add some of your own personal touch.

Start with Your Bed

You’ll be spending a lot of time hanging out in your bed doing everything from late night homework assignments to binge watching netflix so you’ll want to make sure it’s comfortable.
